Application filed July 9, 910. tlerial Ho. 5 11.195.

lowing is a specification.

This invention is an ii'nprovt-ment in devices tor use in repairing hose, and for securing the ordinary fittings to hose by means of wire, and the invention has for an object to provide a simph and novel construction by which the wire may be looped and seoured tightly around the hose over the lit ting or connecting devices, to seeurel tasten the hose'in place.

The invention consists incertain novel. constructions and combinations of parts as will he hereinafter described and claimed.

in thodrawings. Figure l is a side view of the invention as in use, the hose and litting being in section. Fig. 2 is an edge view ot the device as in use. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the device as in. use. Fig. 4 a detail view of the wire binder.

As shown. the improved device includes a. lever A, having'a fulcrum 3, and provided with an opening C. in which is journaled a shaft or drum l), having a sliiling handle E, and provided with a longitudinal slot. i in which received the arms (l of the wire binder H, which latter has a cross bar i, from the opposite ends ot which project the arms (l, as best shown in Fig. -'-l; o'l' the drawing.

lit the operation of the construetion, i will be noticed that the binder may be placed around the hose. and the arms G therco't' be passed through the slot on opposite sides oi the main bar A, with a groove Ti of the fulcrum l3 receiving the cross bar l ot the binder, when, by turning the shaft 1). the binder may be tightened upon the hose. atter which the bar .i or the hose with the binder. may be moved relatively to bend or return the arms (i so they will clasp the cross bar I, as will be understood from Fig. 3 of the drawing.

The main bar A may be used as a hand lever. or for bench purposes. It may be cured to a bench by means ot a box clamp J,.as shown in 2, or the main bar A may be secured to a bench by inserting the pin shown at the lower end of the bar in Fig. 2 in a hole or soclfget in the bench.

I prefer to employ the fulcrum l3 grooved at ll. as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, and it will he. understood that when so used, the said fulcrum received bar l. as shown in Fig. 1. and prevents any slipping of the parts. i

ll'lanitcstly, my invention will be found useful in repairing hose, as Well as securing nipples and other fittings to hose.

I claim:

1. A tool substantially as described, comprising a main bar or handle, having a transverse opening and also having at the side ot said bar a fulcrum surface, and a shaft iournaled in said opening, and having in its free end a slot extending transversely across the shaft whereby the arms of a wire hinder may extend transversely through the shatt. the slot being of a length in excess of the thickness of the main bar, and adapted to receivethe arms of a wire hindersubstantiallv as set forth.

2. A tool for use in repairing hose, comprising a main bar having at one side aprojecting t'ulcrum with a groove in its end for the reception ot' a cross bar oi a wire hinder. the said main bar having a transverse open ing and a shatt journaled in said opening, and having passages for arms of awire binder, and adapted to be rotated in said opening for tightening the binder substantially as set forth.

A. tool :a'ihstantiall as described, comprising a main bar. means at the lower end of the main bar for securing the same to a bench. the main bar having above Said means a transverse opening tor a shaft and lateragainst a hose being repaired. and a shaft journaled in said opening, and having means tor engaging the arms of a. wire binder substantially as set forth.

4. A tool substantially as described, having a transverse opening for a shaft, and also having at the side of said tool a fulcrum surface to bear against a hose, and a shaft'journaled in theopeuing, and having means for engaging the arms of a wire binder substantially as set forth.

A tool substantially as described, comprising a main bar, having an opcnin for a shatt. and also having at the side of said har a fulcrum surface and a shaft journaled in said opening and havinga slot. extending laterally through the shaft for the passage. ot' the arms of a wire binder.

6. A tool for use in setting a bail liltc hose ally thereto. a tulcrum surface for bearing binder comprising a main bar having a ful transverse opening, and a shaft jonrnalerl in crum surface at the side and a shaftour- I said opening and constructed to permit the naled transversely of said bar and slotted I passage of the arms of a W110 blnder transfrom slcle to side for the passage of the arms versely through the shaft, substantially as 5 of a bail-like binder, substantially as set set forth.
